Hybrid. The in-person location is Room S2, World Trade Organization, Geneva, Switzerland.

"Organised jointly by the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Enhanced Integrated Framework, this hybrid event will explore the challenges and opportunities for developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs) in the digital trade space.

Rapid digitalisation and the emergence of increasingly advanced digital technologies, ICT applications and data-driven solutions are changing the way goods and services are produced, supplied, traded and consumed across borders. However, entrepreneurs and firms in many developing countries, especially the least developed countries (LDCs), lack the tools and capacity to engage effectively in digital trade and risk missing out on the benefits available through participating more fully in the growing digital economy."
